The Delhi Police on Wednesday said that an email threat about a bomb was received by the Ministry of Home Affairs office in Delhi's North Block.
The call to the DFS (Delhi Fire Service) was made after an officer posted at the North Block received the bomb threat email, an unidentified police officer told.
“Searches are on and, as of now, nothing suspicious has been found,” the officer said.
The incident is the latest among a spate of hoax bomb emails that have been sent to schools, airports, hospitals and jails in the national capital.
Besides Delhi, even schools in Jaipur, Lucknow, Kanpur and Ahmedabad have received similar threats.
A bomb threat was received by the Union Home Ministry's office at Delhi's North Block, on Wednesday afternoon. Two fire tenders have been sent to the spot, reported ANI quoting Delhi Fire Service (DFS). Reports said that the threat was received on an email at 3:30 pm.
